Went for a causal lunch one week day to try out this place which was quite popular for afternoon tea. The design and atmosphere of the restaurant was of high standard and on par with that of a 5 star hotel; tables not too close for comfort, high ceiling with modern decorations and attentive service levels. I opted for their three course set lunch menu priced at $398 (plus 10% service charge). I selected the following; Cajun PrawnCaesar Salad Crispy Parma ham, bread crouton for starter, Kalamata

I opted for their three course set lunch menu priced at $398 (plus 10% service charge). I selected the following; Cajun PrawnCaesar Salad Crispy Parma ham, bread crouton for starter, Kalamata Olive & Herb Crusted Salmon Sautéed squid, pearl couscous, potato foam for main and Pistachio Cherry Finger for dessert. As for drinks, I had their unlimited NORDAQ Sparkling water priced at $40 per person. Tea and coffee was included in the set lunch menu.
Here are my tasting notes:
Cajun Prawn Caesar Salad Crispy Parma ham, bread crouton - I didn’t want anything spicy that day and asked for the Cajun spice to be removed which they said could be done to cater for my needs. This was the dish which disappointed me most; the prawn was very dry and tough, way overcooked and tasteless . The Caesar salad was just okay, not enough to save the dish. Maybe I should have ordered the Oyster Rockefeller which my companion ordered which looked good and the feedback from my companion was positive. 
Kalamata Olive & Herb Crusted Salmon Sautéed squid, pearl couscous, potato foam - the salmon was slightly overcooked for me and I couldn’t taste the herby crust. However, the potato foam went very well with the pearl couscous and sautéed squid and was delicious.
Pistachio Cherry Finger- this was by far the better dish of the day. The nuttiness from the pistachio cream and cake was not overpowering and paired well with the slightly tart cherry cream and pieces. The sweetness was well balanced.
Overall, the level of service was commensurate with the high standard expected of a 5 star hotel but the food provided to me on that day was a let-down.
